Many of the Constrain, Construct, and Calculate tools require that you select more than one object.
To select more than one object:
- Click the selection arrow
on the tool bar. - Hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key as you click the objects you want to select.
If you click the wrong object while holding down the CTRL key, click it again and it will become unselected.
If all of the objects you wish to select fall within a rectangular region, you can use the selection box:
- Click on the selection arrow on the tool bar or the Drawing toolbox.
- Draw a rectangle around all of the objects by clicking and dragging.
If you are using Math Illustrations on a Smartboard, turn on Smartboard mode selection. In this mode selection accumulates. Clicking off of an item does not clear the selection. Clicking on an item a second time unselects that item.
